    The relevant journalists and editors from the BBC would have had to sit for deposition as well

      I really hate that that comment is getting upvoted.

      People love to hate on things a lot more than they like to understand how things actually work.

      To make your point more explicit, CEOs often don’t have to sit for depositions because they legitimately aren’t the people who know the facts the cases turn on. When the CEOs are the right ones to talk to, courts don’t hesitate to make them show up.

      Don’t get me wrong, I hate big corporations plenty. Don’t get me started about Meta or Microsoft. But can we please hate them for actually good reasons instead of making reasons to hate them up?
